AWS SES certificate verify failed

Question

I have set up SES successfully on one AWS instance. Now I am trying to use it on a second (not cloned) instance and when I run any of the SES scripts, I get an error:

Answer 1

For some reason, your OpenSSL does not get the intermediate certificate. (Outdated software?)

Install the intermediate certificate with the subject hash 0xeb99629b, available at https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/ssl-certificates-support/index?page=content&actp=CROSSLINK&id=AR1513.

You can use it with the -CAfile parameter in OpenSSL tools and with the environment variable HTTPS_CA_FILE for the Perl HTTPS stack. To use it system-wide, place it in the appropriate ca-certificates directory, e.g. /etc/ssl/certs, and c_rehash the directory.
